Use Case Reference ID HB- 1 HomeBase Use Case #1 Title Instruction and Assessment Data Dashboards Description Narrative Ability for teachers and other education professionals to use classroom, benchmark and state summative assessment data to inform individualized student instruction decisions and other Key Performance Indicators. Data should be accessible through an integrated portal and presented in Dashboard format that allows for deeper analysis through active hotspots and provide recommended resources to improve student instruction..
Districts currently use instructional and assessment systems that are not integrated and cannot be viewed through a single portal . An educator who wants to review a student’s performance and assign recommended instructional resources will access the HomeBase (IIS) dashboard and view classroom and LEA assessment results as well as NC state testing results. The ability to drill down to the item level for further analysis will enable the teacher to analyze the type of questions on which the student performed well and those on which (s)he struggled, enabling the teacher to focus on test-taking strategies and critical thinking skills in addition to content. Significant dependencies include the ability to pull the assessment data from multiple data sources into the IIS at the item and standard level for analysis and to link the data with student demographic data in the Student Information System (SIS), and accountability data, discipline data to help personalize instruction .

Home Base Use Case #2 Use Case Reference ID HB- 2 Title Description Content Owned by LEAs/Charter Schools or Teachers LEAs/Charter Schools/Teachers will be able to load content in the resource bank and or share their resources (e.g., through the Home Base Resource Consortium). Curriculum/Instruction and Assessment Resources will be available through one single login and the alignment tags will help to link the resources.
Narrative Criteria Actor Actions Change Enabled Data Required Systems Used Timeline Districts/Charter Schools/Teachers are creating their own content for use in the classroom. Some content is housed in a content management system while others are housed in LMSs, on websites, in paper form, etc. In some cases the resources may not be tagged in a consistent manner and may not be easily searchable. Curriculum/instruction and assessment resources may not be in the same system. Gaining access to the resources may require one or more passwords.
Description Dimensions and Degrees of Success n/a Good Great Teacher or District/Charter School Staff 1. Teacher or District/Charter School Staff logs on Home Base 2. Teacher or District/Charter School Staff loads resource 3. Teacher or District/Charter School staff aligns and tags resource Teacher or District. Charter School Staff is sufficiently trained on how to load content in both the resource bank and the assessment item bank Note: District may choose to contract with Pearson for large banks of resources/items Resources are easily searchable by keyword, alignment, etc. Curriculum/Instruction and Assessment Resources are linked to assist with differentiation, remediation, and enrichment Curriculum/Instruction and Assessment content are available via one login Content is aligned and tagged Content appears when searched Resources will need to be aligned and tagged Instruction content is linked to assessment content Home Base (including Schoolnet) Content can be scheduled July 2013 and beyond Content can be assigned to students
Home Base Use Case #3 Use Case Reference ID HB- 3 Title Description Importing Licensed Content into Home Base The ability for LEAs/Charters to import licensed content into Home Base is a feature that allows districts to make local decisions about content offerings and integrate that content into Home Base. Narr ative Criteria Actor Actions Change Enabled Data Required Systems Used Timeline Many districts have content that they will want to continue to use and/or will want to adopt new content to enhance existing content in Home Base. Districts will be trained on how to import content that they own into the resource bank of Home Base. However, for content that is licensed like Discovery Education, it may be more efficient to contract directly with Pearson on getting the content in the Districts Resource Bank. Only teachers in the district will be able to access the district licensed content.
Description n/a Good Great Classroom teacher or district staff 1. Sign on Home Base 2. Search for Resources in the District Bank 3. Find licensed content as well as other resources Content is connected to the assessment results and student data to help with differentiation, remediation, and enrichment Some content is more easily integrated than others; content showed be aligned and tagged SchoolNet, Third-Party Licensed Content Dimensions and Degrees of Success Licensed Content is imported into District Only staff in the district are able to view licensed content Content is connected to assessment data Licensed Content is easily searchable July 2013 and beyond
Home Base Use Case #4 Use Case Reference ID HB- 4 Title Learning Management System (LMS) Course Migration from Moodle, Blackboard, or Angel Description Educators will be able to import courses from their existing Moodle, Blackboard, or Angel into Home Base.
Narrative Criteria Actor Actions Change Enabled Data Required Systems Used Timeline OpenClass offers many functionalities. For example, a user will be able to: single sign on from Home Base which will bring in roster and provisioning information (available in October 2013); integrate with Google Apps for Education; post blogs, share videos, images and links; create group work spaces for class projects and study groups; connect through chat or Skype with students and teacher; and upload a variety of file types into courses, including HTML, PDF, Word, audio and videos from YouTube. Note: OpenClass is a free LMS and can be used immediately. However, it may be most prudent to wait until October 2013 to migrate course information, train select staff and then begin using in select schools in Spring 2013 and phase in additional schools in at the start of the 2014-15 school year. Additional customizations of OpenClass will occur during the 2014-15 school year to enhance the collaboration tools and integration with the other instructional components of Home Base.
Description Dimensions and Degrees of Success n/a Good Great Classroom teacher or district staff Courses import completely and without error into OpenClass 1. Sign on to OpenClass 2. Import courses and begin using OpenClass in a variety of ways Users can use OpenClass to manage courses created in Blackboard, Moodle or Angel LMS functionality will be available through Home Base for courses already created in Blackboard, Angel or Moodle 2.0 (and older versions), or Angel.

Home Base Use Case #5 Use Case Reference ID HB- 5 Title Learning Management System (LMS) Course accessibility through Home Base Description Some educators may choose to continue to use their existing LMS but want to connect to that LMS through Home Base. Narrative Districts and charters who wish to connect their existing LMSs to Home Base can contact Pearson and potentially contract for that service. They may also contact the Friday Institute for assistance with Single Sign On (SSO) connections between systems once the Identity Access Management (IAM) service is available (anticipated in 2014). Criteria Actor Actions Change Enabled Systems Used Timeline Description District staff 1. Contact Pearson representative 2. Or, contact Friday Institute for help with SSO Ability to have SSO access through Home Base and continue to use existing LMS Home Base and Existing LMS Fall 2013 through Fall 2014 Dimensions and Degrees of Success Ability to have SSO access through Home Base and continue to use existing LMS Pearson Support n/ a Friday Institute Support Goo d Gre at
HomeBase Use Case #6 Use Case Reference ID HB- 6 Title Description Narrative Criteria Actor Actions Change Enabled Data Required Systems Used Timeline Proprietary Reporting HomeBase incorporates native functionality that allows for greater, easier and more accurate data analysis. From the data dashboard, KPIs can be viewed that will allow for district/school comparison on academics/assessments, attendance, discipline, etc. From the KPI dashboards subgroup, grade level, and teacher analysis can be completed and edited from the same set of screens. In addition to the KPI reporting, HomeBase includes a number of out of the box reporting and a report generator that can be used to create reports on a nearly infinite quantity. Districts have been using a variety of proprietary programs and 3 rd party applications to integrate with the old SIS (NCWISE) to fill in functional gaps, generate external reporting, populate data dashboards, and analyze data. The overhead to maintain and administer these tools vary from district to district but can be a substantial drain on resources. With the migration to PowerSchool/HomeBase districts will now have customizable data dashboards that integrate demographic as well as performance data that is reportable, and exportable to a built in Parent Portal. Description Classroom teacher, special education teacher, guidance counselor, Principals, student/parent, district administrator, data managers 1. Sign on.
